6-O-alkyl ascorbic acid esters (ASCn) are amphiphilic molecules that behave as surfactants in aqueous solution. These compounds show physico-chemical and aggregation properties that depend on the… (More)

The aim of the present paper is to analyze whether membrane fluidity can be predicted from its lipid composition and to assay the possible relationship between such variable and the aggregating… (More)

6-O-alkyl ascorbic acid esters (ASC(n)) are amphiphilic molecules that behave as surfactants in aqueous solution. ASC(n) have shown some physical and rheological properties that suggest a potential… (More)

It is already admitted that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) decreases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, although its mechanism is not clear yet. In the present work, the effect of the… (More)

The aggregation capacity of human erythrocytes lies between that of the non-aggregating bovine erythrocytes and the remarkably aggregating equine ones. As the ability to aggregate is attributed to… (More)

Raynaud's phenomenon is a paroxysmal and reversible vasospasm affecting generally the acral circulatory regions. The relevance of the haemorheological alterations in these patients, as a source of… (More)
